The genocide in Rwanda was fuelled by decades of hate speech targeting the Tutsi.

Three decades later, the verbal violence of hate speech is still all around us.

The global community must stand as one against this torrent of hate speech, and denounce it wherever it’s found.

We joined today’s solemn gathering at @UN HQ to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in #Rwanda ( #Kwibuka30 ).
